TO  CONNECT  AN  EXTERNAL  12 VDC  POWER  SUPPLY:

The standard 

Quick Assist II

 may be used with an external

12 VDC power supply. Optional items are not supplied.
Instructions:

1. Remove the 

Quick Assist II electronics from the

housing.

2. Carefully drill or punch a 0.484"  hole in the bottom of

the 

Quick Assist II

 enclosure.

3. Route the power supply cable trough the 

Ritron

#02500127 strain relief

 fitting. (not supplied)

4. Use 

Ritron #RPS-203 Power Supply (not suplied),

11-15 VDC, 200mA

, or equivalent, to power the Quick

Talk. The 

Quick Assist II

 requires 11-15 VDC, 150 mA

minimum.

5. Connect the positive (+) terminal of the power supply

cable to the 

+EXT. PWR

 screw terminal on the 

Quick

Assist II

, refer to FIG-6.

, refer to FIG-6.

NOTE: When programming,

 use either fresh Alkaline

batteries (or an external power supply), to power

the 

Quick Assist II

When programming is

finished,

 you may either insert Ni-Cd batteries

or leave Alkaline batteries in place.

WARNING: DO NOT attempt to charge Alkaline

batteries from an ex12VDC

power supply.

When powering Quick Assist II with ALKALINE

BATTERIES

,  set J103 as follows to disconnect the

charging  current  paths:
a. To set the 

Quick Assist II

 for use with alkaline

batteries, move Jumper J103 to cover only one pin of

the jumper base, as shown in FIG-5; this setting

prevents the flow of charging current.

b. Dial 

"943"

 to program the 

Quick Assist II

 for use with

alkaline  batteries.

When powering Quick Assist II with NI-CD BATTERIES

,

set  J103  as  follows  to  connect  the  charging  current

paths:
c. Cover both pins with Jumper J103, as shown in   FIG-

5,  to  charge  the  Ni-Cd  batteries  from  the  External

Power  connection.

d. Dial 

"944"

  to  adjust  the  Quick  Talk  voltage;  the  unit

then transmits a "Low Battery" phrase.

NOTE: Because  Ni-Cd  batteries  self-discharge  rapidly,

you  must  constantly  charge  them  with  an

ex12VDC power.
